My Bio

Images ranges from no bondage to bondage to sometimes include tickling and/or spanking.


My literature often becomes "hug porn." This is because, though in life I may come off as someone who doesn't like hugs because I never initiate them, the truth is that I never know when it is OK to initiate them, and so the safest thing is to never do so.


I often find myself wondering why I want to do the art I do.

Is bondage an attempt to put a happy face on the helplessness of life? Yet as a man, I have been conditioned by society that I can never allow myself to be helpless, I can only imagine being in bondage as a woman. And yes, there is an unspoken social rule in mainstream society that men can't be helpless (some female actors have even noticed this about how men have trouble being in Bondage scenes). Is that unspoken social rule for men so strong that the only way I can imagine myself legitimately in bondage is if I end up having become female?

More-over, is spanking an attempt to put a happy face on the punishments of life? Is tickling an attempt to make a mockery of putting a happy face on by social coercion?

As they say, when the world gives you lemons, make lemonade.


What is it about bondage (and like BDSM in the form of spanking/tickling) that seems to speak to me?

And now here we are, and I am speaking through it.


Perhaps the best example of my attempt to explore this is with my often re-occuring images with The Chair, no doubt including some false starts (and some pictures that should be viewed after viewing the rest in the series).


With other pictures, I wonder if the concept of prisoners is just an excuse for Bondage with the assumption of a valid need or just ignoring the implication of that assumption (the prisoner is, after all, actually a person with their own will and goals-subverted).


For those who feel my images are a path of darkness, I wish to point out that any darkness that is in them, if it remains only darkness and is never explored or delved into with intent to shine the light of understanding and "enlightenment" on it, it will still have power, and nothing will change. If, on the other hand, you would prefer humanity follow the path of ignorance of the dark, that is your prerogative to believe. I should also add that I would understand that perception, as despite my interest in bondage, one of the most horrific things in the world is torture (which often includes bondage). I also feel that what amount to Crimes Against Humanity (such as any who burn someone alive or who use especially severe torture) sometimes are part of a society (if not now, then in a past that some still cling to), and as such, will continue until social norms against it fully changes within all societies (despite seeing value in diversity, some forms are just too destructive). Sometimes society has greater power for destruction than even the worst individual people.

Also, to those who are critical of my use of something some see as sexy to attract attention, I am reminded of the movie "The Big Short" which suggested that sometimes the only way to get attention to topics you wish to discuss and get your ideas out there may be using something sexy (sex sells, as they say).


For those who are offended by any image that shows a woman in bondage as sexy, I say this about [Women, Men, those who are something else or something in between or non-binary]. Humans are: Sometimes sexy, sometimes not sexy, sometimes hurting, sometimes feeling good, sometimes helpless, sometimes intimidating, sometimes smart, sometimes dumb, sometimes powerful, sometimes vulnerable. To deny any of these is in denial of reality and all the forms it can take.


Sometimes my words may appear critical of bondage, but really it is finding other meanings to it. I am both turned on by bondage, while also seeing the potential for great abuse (taking someone's freedom). How can someone like images of women restrained and be a feminist? Is it possible to hold two seemingly incompatible ideas in one's brain at the same time?


For those of you who are considering getting into a BDSM relationship, make sure it is with someone who knows what they are doing (more than I know what I am doing), which most likely means someone in the BDSM community. I have little personal experience myself (as I have an issue with intimacy).


DISCLAIMER

In my mind I have a clear distinction between [fiction / fantasy / art] and reality. I sometimes worry that my art may wrongly encourage those who lack my distinction between [fiction / fantasy / art] and reality.

So, let me be clear, everything I post is art and fantasy,

I do not condone acts within reality that are illegal or without a full and informed consent of anyone.

If you have some complaint or find something offensive, please contact me.

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS.


I have periodically thought of going back to review my posts for offensive material, but have not done so for 2 reasons:

1) I'm lazy

2) What if feminists are right and to some degree it is all men (even if it is only in occasional thought but never acted on in reality within their life) ...my corrupt art (when matched with my personal pressures at the time) could point to where this corruption comes from and how to prevent it. Do I want to protect my self-esteem, or do I want results against a sometimes-pro-sexist (sometimes even pro-rapist) culture? However, I can also honestly say that at least some of it (that may appear sexist if viewed a certain way) is satire and a criticism of that approach (as in my own ways as an introvert, an autistic and a child of a narcissistic adult have made me sensitive to the side of the victim) ...does it do so 100%?

On a related note, what if blacks who in work situations where they have some power require all whites to sign statements that they are racist are right (even if it is only in occasional thought but never acted on in reality within their life)? And yes, that includes white women. It has even been shown in blacks (cops). Thus sexism against women likely also exists in women as well. Also, likely some black men are sexist (though the percentage of conficted sexual assult being so much higher for black men seems sketchy to me...e.g. it is the rare extremist of harvy Weinstein who get charged but so many blacks convicted or suspected, ranging from Bill Cosby to Neil Degrass Tyson). Likely at least the same percentage of white men are guilty...unless it is black men's response to racism... Don't treat people badly or they will treat other people badly

Since I haven't written much about myself, I thought I would add a little.   I recently took an online test and though you can't go by such things too much; I think I am borderline Asperger's (I fit some of the traits but not others).  I mention this specifically because I realize I don't reply to comments very often, and that is part of the reason (that and my interest pull me in so many directions that I don't seem to have the time and/or energy to do much comment interaction online). For more information, you can check me out at Fetlife (I just go by OddThoughts there, without the 42 on the end). Also, I periodically notice that when I
